Sysprep - how to stop MS client from installing

[hantu]

Hi there

I'm trying to develop an XP image with sysprep for a
netware network so i don't need the ms client and file
and print service installed. i have removed the ms client
from the image along with the ms file and print service.
When i reboot the pc after sysprep, the ms client and
file and print service gets reinstalled. any ideas on how
to get around this?

I'm going from memory but there is a part in the setup that ask you your
Network settings. Don't use typical settings.

yup, by default it has the ms client. even when i select
custom and remove the client it still re-installs it

The Microsoft client and file and print service gets
installed by default with sysprep.
To remove use the CMDLINES.TXT file,which is located in
the Sysprep\i386\$OEM$ folder, in conjunction with
NETSET.EXE(also needs to be in the Sysprep\i386\$OEM$
folder)
Enter the following command, without the quotes -
""./netcfg.exe -v -u MS_Server""

We had the same problem, fixed it by modifying the "Sysprep.inf" to have
these entries:


[Networking]
InstallDefaultComponents=No

[NetServices]

[NetClients]


I was told by someone, and it seems to be true, that you NEED to put in
empty sections for "NetServices" and "NetClients", and remove the unneeded
services from the image before running SysPrep.
